Title: Kits history : Lindberg before it was named Lindberg (1)
Post by: Jicehem on December 06, 2018, 04:04:07 PM

Hello mates, :-salut

I found some time ago, kits of the O'Lin brand that became in 1950 "the Lindberg Line".Since 1930, O'Lin (contraction of the two names Olsen and Lindberg) was producing wood plane kits. In 1947, O'Lin issued four civil planes in 1/48 scale and entirely made of polystyrene but those kits were not their creation. In 1948, the first of their own models is issued ; this was the : Lockheed F-80C Shooting Star, No. 500, in 1/48 scale. Here you are the second edition of the kit with blue and red colored box (The first one was only in dark blue color).Although the pilot is foreseen to be included in the kit, and iti is a pecularity of this kit, he is often absent ; I had luck to find a complete box.(https://i13.servimg.com/u/f13/10/07/63/16/lockhe10.jpg) (https://servimg.com/view/10076316/13181)
